Place your O'Reilly Auction Bid Here

This is not to debate the value of a trade or players involved (Leafs fans ), but just to see what some of you think your team would realistically be able and willing to offer the Avs in order to obtain Ryan O'Reilly.

The other threads get so clogged up with arguments over player evaluations that its hard to get past the bickering and really see what is out there.

A 1st and a 3rd round pick. That's what a RFA poaching would cost so that's the max I would give up. It give a reasonable offer of a roster player and a mediocre prospect and say the next move will be a contract offer of $5 a season, forcing the Av's hand to buck up or make a deal they may not be 100% happy with, but improves their club.

Why do people insist trying to sell a crappy proposal? Not trying to derail this thread, so if you want you can send me a PM.

It's not a crappy proposal. That's the reality of the situation. The Avalanche have said they don't want to pay RoR $5 million a season, so that appears to be the ouch point. At that dollar amount the compensation for a RFA poaching is a 1st and 3rd rounder. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. That is all he is worth based on the compensation outlined in the CBA. Why would anyone think of paying anything more. It's ridiculous to think that he would return anything more when the actual cost of the player is spelled out in the CBA.
